lacked in many ways, but the message is clear
The ending was a little weak; some aspects felt like they were concluded suddenly. I wanted to explore the relationship between pink finger and brown finger, as well as khaki finger and black finger. We didn't see her dad throughout the drama, but then we suddenly see him near the end. He ends up undergoing a drastic character development, too... that doesn't make sense? Her mom's arc was concluded quickly, but it was tied up well; the dad's arc wasn't.However, I must say that I really enjoyed most aspects! This is one of the rarer times a drama should have been longer, possibly the standard 16 episodes.

Visceral and Beautiful!
"Our Unwritten Seoul" is yet another masterpiece of 2025, definitely near "When Life Gives You Tangerines" for me. The basic plot may seem overused, and definitely is; however, it's much more than twins switching lives. There are so many intricacies of the deep-seated relationship between siblings, family and friends. What is going through your loved one's mind is something you may never know or understand, even if you make the effort to do so. The only thing you can do for them is to stay by their side and let them sort out their own feelings. You can't love others before you learn to love yourself. The juxtaposition between Miji's past mental health and Hosu's current hectic life was written incredibly.A lot of people seem to dislike Rosa's side story, but I felt it was a great addition to the story, just another layer of characters that we can explore, whose lives seem miserable in the most beautiful way.
Highly recommend!

"...If we don't try hard, we won't understand each other."
I first watched this drama when I was 14 or so. Of course, a teenager wouldn't be able to completely understand the dilemma of being an adult. Every time I have watched this drama since then, I have seemed to understand it better than the last time.I think it's hard to put this show into words, mostly because of how much it means to me. All the emotions I associate with the characters and the plot are complex. The characters have shaped my life in a great way. The way I think and feel mirrors what I have learnt from them. It truly did make me appreciate relationships and people much more.
I think everyone should what this drama in their 30s to truly appreciate the depth of the story.
